Definitions
- This invention relates to a pipe connector cover for covering a connector of a high pressure fuel pipe, for example, of a diesel engine, so that fuel that sprays from the connector of the high pressure fuel pipe does not disperse to the surroundings.
- This pipe connector cover is constituted by two protective elements that form a closed chamber for enclosing fuel that leaks from the connector, a discharge port that is provided on one of these two protective elements, and a discharge pipe section that extends from this discharge port and is used for allowing fuel inside the closed chamber to flow to the outside. Also, a seal part made of soft material is provided on the oppositely facing end of each protective element (for example, see pamphlet of International Application No. 2006/059050 ).
- This invention was created in order to solve the abovementioned problem, and the object is to provide a pipe connector cover for which the installation operation is simple and with which it is possible to assuredly prevent leaking (spraying) fuel from dispersing to the surroundings.
- the substance thereof is as follows:
- a pipe connector cover for covering a connector of a high pressure fuel pipe of an engine, in which one end of a cylindrical cover part is blocked by a blocking part that has a pipe insertion hole, wherein the aforementioned blocking part includes a seal part in which an inner perimeter that forms the aforementioned pipe insertion hole is adhered closely to an outer perimeter of the aforementioned high pressure fuel pipe, and a receiving chamber that is positioned outside of this seal part, is open on a lower face, and is used for receiving fuel that sprays from the aforementioned connector; and a lower end of a receiving chamber outer wall that forms this receiving chamber is contacted with an upper surface of a fastening tool that constitutes the aforementioned connector.
- the blocking part is provided on only one end of the cylindrical cover part, it is possible to install the pipe connector cover on a section of the high pressure fuel pipe avoiding the connector of the high pressure fuel pipe, and then to move the pipe connector cover along the high pressure fuel pipe to cover the connector of the high pressure fuel pipe with the pipe connector cover.
- the receiving chamber is provided around the entirety of the outer perimeter of the high pressure fuel pipe or in an arc form on the outer perimeter of the high pressure fuel pipe, and because an outer surface of the seal part has an inclined surface that approaches the high pressure fuel pipe as it goes toward the connector, (the pressure of) the fuel leaking from the connector acts on the inclined surface of the seal part, whereby (the inner perimeter of) the seal part is adhered more closely to the outer perimeter of the high pressure fuel pipe, and therefore the seal quality can be improved.
- the seal quality of the seal part is improved, and even when the lower end of the receiving chamber outer wall moves back and forth against the fastening tool, there is no noise made from the lower end of the receiving chamber outer wall hitting the fastening tool.
- the fastening tool with an insertion-coupling receiving part capable of coupling is provided inside the other end of the cover part, it is possible to install the pipe connector cover in a manner so as not to rotate in the circumferential direction of the high pressure fuel pipe, by insertion-coupling the fastening tool into the insertion-coupling receiving part.
- the pipe connector cover is constituted by divided pipe connector covers that are divided into two parts on a plane parallel to the axial direction of the high pressure fuel pipe, and because each of these divided pipe connector covers is provided with a catch-coupling part and a catch-coupling receiving part for integrally coupling the two parts, it is possible to install the pipe connector cover on the high pressure fuel pipe by positioning the high pressure fuel pipe between the two divided pipe connector covers, holding the high pressure fuel pipe between the two divided pipe connector covers, and catch-coupling each catch-coupling part to the corresponding catch-coupling receiving part, and therefore the installation of the pipe connector cover on the high pressure fuel pipe becomes simpler.

- the divided blocking parts 22A, 22B can be connected in an annular form with no gap in between, and the divided seal parts 26 can be connected in an annular form with no gap in between.
- the pipe connector cover is constituted by divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B that are divided into two parts on a plane parallel to the axial direction of the high pressure fuel pipe 61, and because each of these divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B is provided with catch-coupling projections 15a1, 15a2, 15b1, 15b2 and catching parts 17A1, 17A2, 17B1, 17B2 for integrally coupling the two parts, it is possible to install the pipe connector cover C on the high pressure fuel pipe 61 by placing the high pressure fuel pipe 61 between the two divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B, holding the high pressure fuel pipe 61 between the two divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B, and catch-coupling the catch-coupling projections 15a1, 15a2, 15b1, 15b2 to the corresponding catching parts 17B1, 17B2, 17A1, 17A2, and therefore the installation of the pipe connector cover C on the high pressure fuel pipe 61 becomes simpler.
- the divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B are divided into divided cover parts 12A, 12B and divided blocking parts 22A, 22B, it is possible to separately manufacture the divided cover parts 12A, 12B, for which mainly mechanical strength is required, and the divided blocking parts 22A, 22B, for which mainly seal quality is required, and therefore the divided pipe connector covers 42A, 42B can be manufactured easily.
- the open part provided on the receiving chamber outer wall 28 was made as a cut-out 29, but the open part may be an opening, hole, or the like.
